Bethesda Announces Imperial City DLC For Elder Scrolls Online

Bethesda has revealed the first DLC expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online; it's called Imperial City and it'll launch on August 31 for PC and Mac. It'll land on Xbox One on September 15 and on PlayStation 4 a day later.

This expansion offers "hours" of new gameplay and boasts new areas, quests, enemies and items. The Imperial City has been taken over by Daedric Prince Molag Bal, so players have to square off against these new Daedric forces. The DLC is part of the ESO Plus program or you can purchase it separately for $20; all content included will be available to players Level 10 and up.

Here's a brief rundown:

A brand new PvP/PvE space, including the six Imperial City Districts

New quests and key characters within the Imperial City

One new Imperial City PvP Public Dungeon: The Imperial Sewers

Two new PvE Imperial City group dungeons with Normal and Veteran versions: White-Gold Tower and Imperial City Prison

The Tel Var Stone system

23 completely new Veteran Rank 16 item sets, only available in Imperial City

Treasure Vaults that contain new Veteran Rank 16 set jewelry and a chance for even rarer finds

Xivkyn racial motif style

New collectibles only available in Imperial City (pets, polymorphs, and a costume)

Alongside this announcement came news of a patch, which will be released alongside the new expansion. This update will offer "hundreds of fixes and improvements" in all areas of the game; check out specific details here.
